Fontawesome does not work when served by IIS

Why is @font-face throwing a 404 error on woff files?

Add the MIME types in the web config:

  <system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
      <remove fileExtension=".woff" /> <!-- In case IIS already has this mime type -->
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/x-font-woff" />
    </staticContent>    
  </system.webServer>

You can open IIS, point to your website, In IIS session, select MIME Types. After Mime Types view showing, click Add -> In dialog:

• File name extension: .woff
• MiME types: application/x-font-woff

click OK.

Done.

This Answer is not for the above problem But for those who face similar error but due to different reason and land up into this thread.

I faced similar problem but later found that IIS was trying to look for font-awesome woff,eot files in the folder MyIpAddress/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woof but I had the files in different folder. Moving the fontawesome-webfont.eot, fontawesome-webfont.svg,fontawesome-webfont.ttf, fontawesome-webfont.woff into my fonts folder solved my problem
